For site managers, project buyers and trade counters
Same-Day Courier for Construction Sites & Trade Suppliers
Sites don't wait. When the kit hasn't turned up, the crew is standing around at £40/hour. We collect from the merchant, the manufacturer or a sister site and run it directly to the gate.
Collection and delivery are required — a town, city or postcode is enough.

What we typically move for construction & trade clients
Capability — not a customer list. If your job fits any of these descriptions, we can quote it today.
- Forgotten or short-shipped materials from builders' merchants
- Plant spares and replacement parts to active sites
- Tools between sites or back to the depot
- Specialist materials (glazing, cladding, joinery) between supplier and site
- Sample boards, mock-ups and small-quantity finishing items
The problems we actually solve
Standing time costs more than the delivery
A trade crew waiting for a missing length of steel or pack of fixings costs more per hour than the courier fee — the maths almost always favours a same-day run.
Merchants close at 5pm
If the order isn't loaded by close, the site loses a day. We collect right up to closing time and run direct.
Drivers who understand sites
Site access, banksmen, signing in, PPE awareness. Our drivers know how site delivery works.

Direct van, no depot
Straight from the merchant or supplier to the site gate. No overnight, no missed slot, no 'out for delivery' for three days.
Two-person crew when needed
For heavier items such as windows, doors, packs of timber or kitchen units, two-person handling is priced to the job after access and lifting requirements are reviewed.
Flexi7 for planned runs
Flexi7 provides collection and delivery within seven days and is normally around 30% below equivalent urgent dedicated delivery where available.

Construction & Trade courier — FAQs
Can you collect from a builders' merchant on our trade account?▼
Yes — provide the merchant branch, account name and a collection reference (or order number). We'll show ID, collect against the reference and deliver to your site contact.
Do you carry the right insurance for site deliveries?▼
Yes. £5,000 Goods-in-Transit and £1m Public Liability. Drivers wear hi-vis and carry standard PPE; site-specific PPE is the site's responsibility.
Can you handle long lengths or full kitchen units?▼
Our small van takes up to ~3m loads. For full kitchen units or longer lengths we'd quote our Luton-class option, with 2-Man assistance if required.
Do you provide a Goods-in-Transit certificate for construction clients?▼
Yes. We carry up to £5,000 Goods-in-Transit cover and £1m Public Liability. A current certificate of insurance can be emailed to your procurement team before the first job.
Can we book on account rather than paying by card each time?▼
Yes. Once you've passed a standard credit check (or made an opening deposit) we open a 30-day invoiced credit account. One consolidated PDF and CSV invoice per month, with PO references printed on every line.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?▼
Yes. Same-day urgent collection is available nationwide. We operate from the Midlands, which keeps us central for cross-country runs to London, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Newcastle and Scotland.
